This post won’t go into all the features of Bitwarden as those can easily be found on the Bitwarden website. Since platforms like LastPass are not open source, usage of such services requires a certain level of trust that the claims made on their website are indeed true - but ultimately, there is simply no way to know. I no longer wanted to use a SaaS service where terms of service can change on short notice and I wanted something open source. I gave this a lot of thought and decided to start the search for an alternative. Limiting a free plan by device type, for me anyway, defeats the purpose of having a password manager.
In an odd move by LastPass, only a single type of device would be free to use and for any other device type, you would need to pay a subscription fee to use at around $3 per user per month. However, in early 2021 LastPass announced that from Mait would no longer support a fully free tier. It was easy to use, I didn’t have to host anything, and hence I didn’t have to worry about monitoring a server, having to arrange backups, or setup SSL certificates. Support popular platforms and browsers.For the longest time, I used LastPass as my password manager of choice.You can also get a paid organization account which costs a bit more. But there are also paid plans, starting at $10 per year. Click Yes > Save Now, and the password will be stored in your vault. When you enter username and password, Bitwarden will ask you to save the login and password information. To use Bitwarden, head to any website where you need to sign in or you want to sign up for a new account.The app offers support for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Safari, Brave, and Edge. Once you set up your account, you can install the Bitwarden extension for one of the supported browsers.You can go and grab a source code on GitHub, and get your own Bitwarden GitHub installed on your server. Being an open-source app, you can get more control.This is the only password you will have to remember from now on. You have to make it as strong and as complex as you can. Like in most password managing apps, the master password keeps the password safe. When you Sign Up, you will have to create a master password.This place is called the Bitwarden vault, and there you can store your passwords.
It is free, and you get an account with access to a secure place.
